Keyamo tackles Atiku over fuel subsidy policy claims

Festus Keyamo, the Aviation Minister, has responded to Atiku Abubakar, the former Vice President, accusing him of suffering from "agitated depression" over his 2023 election loss to President Tinubu.

Atiku Abubakar had described the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL, as President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's "campaign money cashier". He questioned whether NNPCL was still operating as a commercial company or had become Tinubu's campaign cashier.

Atiku also accused Tinubu of turning a petrol discount into a political spectacle at the expense of NNPC Limited, and questioned who ordered NNPC to surrender the money for the discount.
